Empty Eyes: A poem about depression
by Lauren T. (Age: 14)
copyright 12-04-2007


Age Rating: 13 to 127

  Empty Eyes: A poem about depression
Picture Credits:

Whats in your eyes?
What do you see?
What does the world look like
when your eyes are so empty?

Do you know what you're doing?
Can you understand?
Do you see anything
beyond your haunted dreamland?

Can you hear what you say?
Can you see the damage you've done?
Do you know that other people hear
and you're not the only one

Do you see your scars?
Do you see your blood?
Have your senses gone numb?
Have your feelings all rotted?

Do you see the fear?
In your own empty shell?
You're going insane
You've created your own Hell

You're numb to everything
You're going totally insane
I pray to God that you'll be healed
and he will stop your pain

Whats in your eyes?
What do you see?
What does the world look like
when your eyes are so empty?

Depression is very very hard to explain never have i seen it so well said, its amazing, im lost for words...

Keep up the great work

That's an amazing poem. That's kind of what I feel, but I feel a bit better now that I have proof that people care about me. Anyway... I liked the 'Do you see your scars?' stanza. I don't know why. But this poem was kind of like a window into the depressed one's world, as well as a bit of the cutter's. Great work!

Hey this is great! I liked the flow of this piece, it had good rhythm. the rhyming was excellent, and i loved the repetition of "what's in your eyes" stanza. very chilling, dark, but i still loved it. Watch out for capitalization in the poem and in the title, but i think that was the only mistake. I'd try to keep up the rhyme scheme, because it stops in a stanza, but it's still great. I've felt all of these feelings and can really relate to this. awesome job! I just wrote a poem that's up, "Routine," that's about a similar topic. check it out if you have time. Also, sometimes in the poem the syllables in one like are way more than the syllables in the next. Still, this is super! keep writing!

Like Samantha P. said, I have never seen a poem ask so many questions. But I think it's okay. Erm, I think you need to capitalize the front of each sentence and add periods or commas. Overall it's a quite nice poem.
(For some reason to me, the picture of Pluto(?) looks more like she's mad.)

Wow, its so wierd, ive never seen a poem ask me so many questions. I noticed that most of your stanzas rhymed except one or two dont know if that was intentional, but probably?
Often times i regret many things i say after ive said them and it is hard to realize that other people have feelings whenever yours are the only one you feel.
I love how you put the mind's meaning through your eyes. I think people would be very different if they ever had to carry around a mirror for a week and they would realize they can say some pretty mean things.
This was amazing i love this writing sight since it has so many good writers
you rockz my socks off
